Our Northern Wisconsin musky fishing trips are second to none! I pride myself on providing my clients with a safe, enjoyable and successful outing in a positive atmosphere using only top quality gear. Questions are always welcome, and I am happy to show and share my secrets on the “wheres” and “hows” of consistently locating and catching northern Wisconsin muskies!
Captain Jeff Van Remortel puts more muskies in the boat than any musky fishing guide in Vilas, Oneida, Iron and Price Counties, if not all of Wisconsin. “Please Click Here” to view some of our recent catches.
With 463 Northern Wisconsin muskies at an average length of 37″ in the boat in the last 4 seasons, it is a sure bet that a trip with Capt. Jeff is your best chance at boating muskies! Multiple fish hookups per outing for our clients are common and we put several fish over the 48″ mark in the net every year!
No matter what your experience level, you WILL benefit from a trip with WDH Guide Service. You will learn refined tactics that produce muskies on any body of water they inhabit! All rods, reels, and baits will be provided though clients are welcome to bring their own.
Items to bring include: a valid Wisconsin fishing license, polarized sunglasses, seasonally appropriate clothing, drinks, snacks and of course, a camera!
Rates: Half Day (5 Hours): $250 for 1 or 2 people (additional $50.00 for 3rd person)
Full Day (9 Hours): $400 for 2 people (additional $50.00 for 3rd person)
$350 for single person full day trip

**The cost for “follow” boats is $150.00 for up to two boats. I will provide your fellow fishermen in the follow boats with the appropriate baits and brief them on the techniques we are using for that day to ensure they have a great shot at success as well. Rods/reels will not be provided for follow boats.
***Cost of bait (suckers) for fall trips is in addition to guide fee. A receipt will be provided.
